A while back...at a hanger-trash n' rash session....we started bringing up special folks over the years that had some really special gifts and one name POPPED UP first and fore most was
the late STEVE STEVENSON.
Never a contest went by without seeing some new project or some new model airplane gidjet'-gadget that he would lovingly share n' show everyone who would take a moment to listen..STEVEN, this beautiful addicted soul who just loved anything and everything about model airplanes...or for that matter ANYTHING THAT HATH WINGS, to so many of us...was his talent and gift FOR FLYING MORE THAN JUST ONE (THREE IN FACT!) MODEL AIRPLANES in the circle at one time.
Although Steve is gone....I am certain that I am not the only one who every time I see a model in flight, be it at an informal get together or at a local contest, could virtually feel his presence, his spirit has remained in our hearts for all these years.
If anyone has old photos or stories of this gentleman who spent so much time enjoying the passions of model building and flying, please scan them and tell us more?
Hey... I can still almost see him, even today, Steve walking up to us with some kind of model thingeee' in his hands, that big grin and that well noted greeting that was sure to be his first words ala'...
"HEY, SHULTZIE.... LOOK HERE...EVERYONE NEED AT LEAST ONE OF THESE!"
